SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED SECOND SEASON ARC

Here ya go, exactly as I wrote it for the Fox Kids and Saban Entertainment powers-that-were more than a decade and a half ago!

by Larry Brody

EPISODES WRITTEN PER FOX’S SEASON 2 FIVE-EPISODE PICK-UP

14. DESTINY UNLEASHED PART 2

With the help of the GOBLIN (and a minor assist from VULTURE) SPIDEY and the REBELS keep the SYNOPTIC from succeeding. When the “smoke clears” the good news is that the HIGH EVOLUTIONARY and SIR RAM have been soundly defeated and the KNIGHTS OF WUNDAGOR scattered. The bad news is that VENOM and CARNAGE, although out of the picture for now, have merged into the awesome villain known as KING CARNAGE!

15. CAT GOT YOUR TONGUE?

SPIDEY and the rest of the inhabitants of Counter-Earth must now deal with the results of what happened last episode: A “Newer World Order.” JAMESON and the rebels work with LORD TYGER to form a just and representative government for Beastials and humans alike, and GOBLIN comes home to NAOKO and SHAYNE. Always able to make the worst of any situation, PETER feels more lost and alone than ever but doesn’t have much time to think about it as he does some good old-fashioned sleuthing to find the culprit behind a series of daring robberies—and discovers that the villain is not one but three BLACK CATS—Beastial Siamese cat sisters who are beautiful, charming—and deadly.

16. NIGHTWALKER

To JAMESON’S dismay, SPIDEY and KAREN grow closer as she becomes the humans’ best liason with LORD TYGER’S government. In Washington D.C., Spidey swings into action when a secret assassin starts taking out the REBELS one by one, with Karen’s turn next. Who is the NIGHTWALKER? An angry Beastial? A former KNIGHT OF WUNDAGOR? Or is it a jealous Jameson? An embittered BROMLEY? Spidey has to find out in order to save Karen’s life!

17. MODEL BEHAVIOR

To cash in on the new social situation, a BEASTIAL MOVIE PRODUCER offers SPIDEY a deal to star in a Human Exploitation Film. PETER’S reluctant—until he discovers that Counter-Earth’s version of MARY JANE is one of the actresses vying to be his co-star. Spidey’s Hollywood advernture turns deadly, however, when he finds out just how this Mary Jane got her good looks…and has to face her “creator,” SCRAMBLE, a Beastial with the power to control—and instantly morph—any living flesh that he touches…or that touches him.

18. SOJOURN

The Synoptic’s powerful new entity, KING CARNAGE, returns. Although torn by true inner conflict (between the human sides of his Venom & Carnage components), he pulls himself together, searching for the Interdimensional Portal that originally brought the High Evolutionary to Counter-Earth, in order to use it to expand the Synoptic. When GOBLIN is injured trying to stop the monster symbiote, SPIDEY swings into action, hoping to use the Portal to return to Earth and the real Mary Jane. In an ironic twist, Spidey does indeed find and use the Portal—but with him is a stowaway—JAMESON. And in a final crisis, it’s JAMESON who ends up on Earth, with Spidey back with the Beastials once more.

OVERALL ARC FOR THE REST OF SEASON 2

19. Thru 24. Spidey will continue to deal with both the issues of Counter-Earth’s new society and various mysteries and super-villains, both human and Beastial as he goes on a last-ditch hunt for the remaining spaceship that may be able to bring him back home. Episodes alternate between New York and his altered relationship with Naoko, Shayne, and Goblin, and his travels around this new planet, where he encounters Lady Ursula (now the head of the Russian black market), Electro (who has set up his own little kingdom not unlike Latveria), the Counter-Earth Panther (while searching through the jungles of Wakanda), the Black Cats, and others. In the end, however, societal concerns come to the fore as, just when things are looking brightest for Beastial-Human relations, the High Evolutionary and Sir Ram return, angrier and more powerful than ever. In a butt-kicking two-part finale, Spidey rises out of the ashes of agonizing defeat and sends both of them packing forever, and—at last!—rockets his way home to those he has missed for so long! FADE OUT?

Ah, if only we had had the chance to produce the already-written episodes and write and produce all the rest!
